Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Announce Exciting Schedules for 2024-2025

Hey there, Plymouth! It’s that time of year when parents and students can start marking their calendars because Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (P-CCS) has officially unveiled their schedule for the upcoming academic year and spring break plans. If you don’t have a fridge calendar yet, now might be the time to invest!

Spring Break is Just Around the Corner!

First off, let’s talk about the highly anticipated spring break! Mark your calendars for March 24-28, 2025. It’s a full week for students to kick back, relax, and recharge before diving back into their studies. Families might want to think about some fun activities during this time—whether it’s a day trip, a family game marathon, or curling up with a good book at home. Really, the options are endless!

School Year Kicks Off on September 3, 2024

Now, for those of you eager to get back to school supplies and lunchboxes, the first day of school is set for Tuesday, September 3, 2024. This is an excellent time for students to reconnect with friends and meet their new teachers. Elementary students will have school from 8:55 a.m. to 4:01 p.m., which gives them ample time to enjoy a day packed with learning. Meanwhile, middle school hours are 8:15 a.m. to 3:09 p.m., and P-CEP high school will start the day bright and early at 7:25 a.m. before wrapping up at 2:21 p.m.

Important Dates to Remember

While the excitement might be building for new beginnings, it’s also essential to keep track of significant dates throughout the school year. Family-teacher conferences are scheduled for November 13-14, 2024, giving parents a chance to connect and engage with their children’s learning progress. Then, there’s the turkey holiday with a Thanksgiving break from November 27-29—a perfect time to feast with family!

Students taking tests should also take note. First semester tests for grades 9-12 will take place from January 15-17, 2025, while second semester tests are planned for June 9, 2025. The final day of school is projected to be between June 9-11, 2025, so it’s wise to stay sharp and ready!

Days Off for Professional Development and Holidays

Throughout the school year, there are several days when students won’t have classes due to professional development for teachers. Mark your calendars for October 9, November 5 (which is also Election Day!), and March 5, 2025. Additionally, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20, 2025, and the week of Presidents Day, from February 17-21, 2025, will also be no school periods!

Safety and Mental Health Initiatives

As we look forward to the joys of the coming school year, it’s important to remember that P-CCS is taking great strides to ensure student safety and well-being. The district has received a significant grant of $1.9 million from the State of Michigan to implement advanced security systems, which will include AI technology to help detect potential threats in schools. The emphasis on mental health support is also pivotal in creating a nurturing environment for students.

Get Ready, Plymouth!

With so many exciting events and schedules on the horizon, it’s an excellent time for families to start planning for the 2024-2025 school year. Whether you’re packing for spring break or gearing up for the first day of school, there’s so much to look forward to in the Plymouth-Canton community.

So, gather your school supplies, think about those spring break plans, and let’s make this school year an unforgettable one!
